Posted January 20, 201015 yr comment_306828 Hello everyone, I am new to the sight. I am giving my Z a facelift. I am a lifelong fan/participant of drag racing and I bought my Z as a cheap way to go fast. After owning a particular kind of vehicle, you take more notice when you see others like it. I havent seen many Z car drag applications where they didn't go crazy with huge rear tires or sheetmetal dashes...so my goal is to represent the Z car in the Drag community with a stock looking interior appearance and super nice exterior in the areas that are possible to do so. I wanted to share my progress Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34481-bad-a-72-240-drag-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 20, 201015 yr comment_306840 Practicing for the launches? :-D Don't mind blake, he's always really, really, really, really hostile to all the newbies to the site. It's a good thing we took away his police baton. That is a great looking car.

January 20, 201015 yr comment_306841 Not true at all, at least not with that many 'reallys', but my response might have also been a bit caffinated....

January 20, 201015 yr Author comment_306842 Darrel,Haaa Yes I hope it doesnt leave like that!! I am changing the gear from what it was with the old combination. It used to leave about half that high and that was plenty enough.... Thanks for checking it out. I am glad you like the car so far. Blake's cool I am just a smart a$$ so I was picking back at him. Didnt mean to come across hostile. Lane Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34481-bad-a-72-240-drag-car/#findComment-306842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 20, 201015 yr Author comment_306851 I know you can get the lenses and the gaskets. The mistery is the center trim strip. How do they Chrome Plastic? I know it can be done...look at the various toys that have plastic that has been chromed. hmmmmm? If I knew the cost assiocated with reconditioning that strip, I could decide whether to just pull the trigger on some high dollars ones or refurb my own..Lane Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34481-bad-a-72-240-drag-car/#findComment-306851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
